Professor McDonald's Conveyancing Opinions

""Professor A.J. McDonald produced the first edition of his Conveyancing Manual in 1982. The Manual - now called Professor McDonald's Conveyancing Manual - is in its sixth edition. It has become an essential first source of reference for busy practitioners.Shortly after the first edition of the Conveyancing Manual appeared, solicitors began to seek Professor McDonald's opinion on a wide range of conveyancing problems. The number of memorials and opinions rose year by year during the 1980s and 1990s, resulting in an enormous database of valuable information on almost every aspect of conveyancing law and practice. The purpose of this collection is to make some of those opinions available for general consumption.The layout of the opinions broadly follows that of the Manual. Each opinion has a synopsis of the memorial and is linked to the relevant chapter in the Manual.Previously a T & T Clarke publication""
